Hey. Going to start doing this again. Tuesdays are a busy time of the week for me right now (as previously mentioned), so while I'll aim for that, don't be surprised to see posts come on random days of the week.
If you're wondering where the system cull discussion went, I split that into a new thread so that the topics would be a bit more consistent.
Today's transparency scrap ... wasn't the update alleged to have come out between March 21st and March 31st?
In short? Yes.
However, that nasty concept called real life hit the right people at the wrong time, which caused things to slow down quite a bit. There is good news, however; the next release "Spring Update 4.88.5" should arrive soon within a week or two. It's also a lot larger than I had initially stated in here, consisting of the Kusari Update package, Omegas + Hispania package, Omicrons Cleanup package, and, yes, the Nomicrons Update. We've got a bit of work to do still -- tidying up systems work and bug testing, finishing the review of about 120 new/updated infocards, maybe some frightening PvP changes to ruin your habits, and economy changes as icing on the cake* -- but it's manageable at this point.
Can I make the update come sooner? If I don't see it by May, can I burn the place down? Who is this Teerin guy anyway? Where did New York go?
All in good time. We're working on it as we do, and I assure you that work is being done. Oh and yes, the Admin who was kind enough to move along that fancy progress bar in the forum side menu was also struck by real life. Instead of 80.00.1% it's now a bit more like 90%. Anyway, thanks for reading. With luck it was informative.
